While that agency bills it as a 240-turbine project, if you check out the project information at the UK’s National Infrastructure Planning Portal it’s even more impressive.

As of this writing, the plans call for up to 325 wind turbines with an installed capacity of 1200 megawatts, located about 43 kilometers off the coast of Suffolk. It will cover an area of about 300 km.

In addition to the turbines, the project includes offshore collector and converter stations, up to four 73-kilometer seabed cables, and whatever else is needed for a National Grid connection at the Bramford Substation.

At Bramford the plans actually call for up to eight onshore cable ducts, although only four are needed for East Anglia One.

That’s because, as the name of the project suggests, this is just the beginning.
